HERA™ SolutionsHERA™ improves die cast operations in many ways:
• Increases productivity through cycle time reductions.
• Minimizes or eliminates plant effluent.
• Eliminates potential negative influences of dilution water.
• Eliminates issues with biological growth activity.
• Reduces energy consumption.
• Extends tool life.
HERA™ FormulationHERA™ was specifically developed as a ready-to-use advanced technology water-based die lubricant. It is perfect for use in today’s complex applications.
• Compatible with standard or robotic application equipment.
• Versatile enough to use with complex part designs and high ductility alloys.
• Features excellent wetting and spreading properties.
• Adheres at low and high temperatures.
• Evaporates quickly and results in no effluent.
• Eliminates the need for costly biocide treatment.
• Shrinks overall carbon footprint by reducing CO2 emissions.
HERA™ HistoryHERA™ was developed as part of a project sponsored by
the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to promote energy and resource efficiency in aluminum
die casting. Chem-Trend was one of several industry-leading companies to participate. The goal of the
project was to increase overall energy efficiency by 15 percent, while at the same time reducing
CO2 emissions and shrinking a manufacturer’s carbon footprint.
